YOU LEANED AGAINST THE CART, watching heeseung have an internal debate trying to decide which of two types of cereal to buy. the group had designated him to be the one to buy groceries for the dorm and he brought you with him to help. except, you weren't the only one to accompany him to the store; niki took it upon himself to join you both, much to heeseung's dismay.

he eventually picked one and placed it in the cart just as niki came bounding into the aisle with something in his hand. he holds it up for you both to see; it's a brightly colored pack of candy.

"can i get this?" he asks.

heeseung responded flatly, "no."

but almost simultaneously, you waved your hand dismissively and said, "sure, whatever."

maybe your voice overpowered his, or niki just chose to ignore heeseung completely, but the younger boy tosses the bag into the cart with a happy smile and walks away again.

"we aren't buying this," heeseung huffs, reaching into the cart and placing the candy on a nearby shelf. you scoff at his behavior but don't protest.

heeseung continued to shop with you by his side as mental support while niki wandered around elsewhere in the store, occasionally picking up snacks that caught his attention, but ultimately putting them back.

at one point, while you and heeseung were scanning the shelves in another aisle, niki snuck up behind you both and put his original candy back in the cart when you weren't looking.

once the shopping list had been fully crossed off, you made your way to the checkout registers; niki eventually returning as well—still empty-handed.

you couldn't help but laugh seeing the colorful package again amongst the other groceries. once the cashier scanned it, you sneakily handed the candy off to niki instead of putting it in the bag.

with all of the items paid for and bagged (well, most of them at least), the three of you finally left the store and niki ripped open the packet with a happy smile as he walked a few steps behind you through the parking lot.

you and heeseung were by the front door, getting ready to go out to dinner, when you called out through the dorm for niki. the older boy furrowed his eyebrows at you, clearly taken aback.

"what are you doing?" he inquired, to which you just shrugged as you continued focusing on putting your shoes on.

"well, earlier he mentioned that he hadn't really eaten yet today," you finally stand up straight, "so i thought he could come with us."

although heeseung had initially expected it to be just the two of you, he couldn't argue with your thoughtful gesture. with a nod, he agreed, allowing a small smile to creep onto his face.

once the youngest boy finally emerged from his room, fully dressed and excitement visible on his face, the now-three of you left the dorm together.

at the restaurant, you sat across from your boyfriend, like usual, and niki quickly slid into the seat next to you. heeseung couldn't help but roll his eyes at the ease with which niki had become a part of your outing.

heeseung watched from across the table how you and niki playfully elbowed each other with each bite of your food or during conversations. he rolled his eyes lightheartedly at the ease with which niki had always joined your outings together.

while he was grateful for the bond you had created with his fellow members, he couldn’t help but wish he could spend more time with just the two of you. it seemed that finding time together, away from everyone else, is easier said than done.

wanting to indulge in your boyfriend's hobbies, you agreed to play video games with him, so the two of you had taken over the living room for most of the day.

you were settled on the couch, absentmindedly using your phone while heeseung went to get more snacks for you both from the kitchen.

when niki walked out of his room and saw the tv screen showing the game's main menu and the unoccupied controller on the table, he couldn't stop himself from moving toward it. before you could even register what was happening, niki had taken heeseung's once-vacant spot beside you.

you looked up from your phone to the boy who was staring at you expectantly, "yes, niki?"

"wanna bet on who's better at this game?" he asked.

you raised your eyebrow, intrigued by niki’s challenge, “sure,” you chuckled, “but be prepared to lose; i’ve gotten really good at this game.” the younger boy laughed at you as you both picked up the controllers and began playing.

it wasn't long before heeseung returned to the living room. he was slightly confused when he turned the sounds of the game resuming from the kitchen, but he thought you accidentally pressed a button. however, he could only sigh when he came back to see you and niki with your attention focused on the tv screen.

silently acknowledging the new seating arrangement, heeseung sat down on the other side of you since niki had taken his original seat.

as he watched the two of you play, niki was noticeably better at the game than you. heeseung leaned against you, whispering tips quietly into your ear occasionally.

once the round finished, you and heeseung both jumped out of your seats, arms raised in the air before you hugged each other while niki sprawled dramatically across the couch, whining in defeat, “rematch! rematch! you’ve been playing for a while already, that was just my warm-up!”

heeseung immediately shut him down, “nope, you lost. now leave me alone with my girlfriend.”

niki just let out a dramatic huff as he lazily sat up and dragged himself back into his room, muttering to himself the whole way about how he should’ve gotten a rematch.
